I had the misfortune of a 4 pot 318i petrol for 6 weeks once. It was dire.

Have your tried playing music through the DVD drive? I know this sounds a odd question but you can get so much music on a DVD than cd! Do you have bluetooth?

I haven't tried - that would mean losing the nav.

Yep - bluetooth is in, however the iPhone 4 integration appears to be limited to it fitting neatly in the compartment to the lower right of the steering wheel, where it can be put out of sight and not worry the car that its technology is a good 10 years behind.

My 320 was poor, needed thrashing to make any progress, was good on petrol on a run though. My dad had late 40's on the way to magny cours

Do you not have a arm rest cradle for it?

Yeah - no iPhone specific connection though. I just use the aux cable and then change music on the phone. Tried once to connect the phone to the car with bluetooth, failed, liked the car a little less and never tried again.

Do you mean the Bluetooth calling failed or music via Bluetooth? You have any advise with what to look out for when getting a 325?

Bluetooth calling failed - just wouldn't connect.

Don't get a 325 - that's my advice. If you really like the E90 (and you'll need one with a ton of extras to make it decent) then get a 330. The 325 is underpowered and there's more torque in a pigeon.
